What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am a dedicated underwriter with a passion for delivering high-quality service in the insurance industry. With a Bachelor of Commerce in Tourism Management and various certifications in business administration and insurance, I have developed a strong foundation in risk analysis and customer relationship management. My current role at Old Mutual Insure has allowed me to hone my skills in underwriting, where I analyze commercial lines accounts and make informed decisions based on individual risk characteristics.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to work under pressure and manage multiple tasks effectively. My experience ranges from being a receptionist to an underwriter, where I have developed exceptional communication skills and a keen understanding of the insurance market. I thrive on challenges and am always eager to learn and grow within my profession, ensuring that I contribute positively to my team and organization.
